US Vulnerable To Reds Hot Money
Washington June 15 A Federal Reserve economist told senators it would be easy for Russia to slip hot money through foreign banks and invest in the United States. Arthur I. Bloomfield senior economist at the New York Fed noted a considerable amount of foreign hot money has flowed into the country since World War II, often difficult to trace. He defined hot money as capital used for clandestine or illegal purposes sometimes to evade taxes. Bloomfield testified before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee which said Communist money has invaded the U S economy. The panel said it is considering a probe into a need for tighter controls.
